Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

2.0K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Concepts of Health and Illness

17.0K
Health is a condition of the body, mind, and spirit where an individual remains free from illness. Similarly, wellness is an active state, including living a lifestyle that promotes physical, mental, and emotional health. Physical health is critical for the overall well-being and can be affected by lifestyle, activity level, diet, and behavior. The highest attainable standard of health is a fundamental and universal human right. Consider Lisa, a fifteen-year-old born with congenital...

Classification of Illness

8.5K
The meaning of illness is individualized to each person who experiences an alteration in health. In contrast, disease is a medical term indicating a pathological change in the structure and function of the body or mind. It is a condition that has specific symptoms and boundaries.
An illness is a response to a disease in which the person's level of functioning is changed compared with a previous level. The general classification of illness includes acute and chronic.
Acute illness is severe...

Factors Affecting Illness01:18

Factors Affecting Illness

5.0K
When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.
For instance, risk factors are connected to illness,...

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder01:29

Theoretical Approaches to Psychological Disorder

739
The development of psychological disorders, which are characterized by deviant, maladaptive, and personally distressing behaviors, has been explored through several theoretical approaches.
Biological approach
The biological approach posits that internal, organic factors are the primary causes of such disorders. This perspective emphasizes brain structure and function, genetic predispositions, and neurotransmitter imbalances. For example, schizophrenia has been associated with both genetic...

Summary

A pediatrician

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • A pediatrician experienced sudden hearing loss, tinnitus, dizziness, and pressure, initially diagnosed as Ménière's disease.
  • Despite treatment for Ménière's disease, symptoms persisted and worsened, with brain scans showing cerebellar tonsil malformation.
  • The patient's atypical presentation lacked the typical orthostatic headache associated with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and systemic gaps in recognizing and treating spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH).
  • To emphasize the importance of clinical curiosity and patient advocacy in achieving early diagnosis for rare conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Case report detailing a pediatrician's diagnostic journey from initial misdiagnosis to the correct identification of SIH.

  • Review of diagnostic procedures, including brain imaging and response to treatments like epidural blood patches.
  • Exploration of treatment pathways, including specialized care sought internationally.

    • Main Results:

    • The patient was ultimately diagnosed with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) due to cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
    • Initial treatments provided only temporary relief, necessitating further specialized interventions.
    • The case underscores limited awareness and diagnostic difficulties associated with atypical SIH presentations.

    Conclusions:

    • Early diagnosis of SIH requires heightened clinical suspicion, especially in atypical cases.
    • Systemic improvements are needed in SIH awareness, recognition of varied presentations, and access to specialized care.
    • Patient advocacy plays a crucial role in navigating complex diagnostic and treatment pathways for rare neurological disorders.
